CHICAGO — Police are investigating the fatal mid-day shooting of a man in Washington Park.

A 20-year-old man was shot in his head at 1:27 p.m. in the 300 block of East 51st Street, said Officer Ana Pacheco, a police spokeswoman. Family members identified him as Marc Campbell, a local rapper who performed as Lil Marc.

At the scene of the shooting, a body lay covered in front of a bus shelter that had been shot out. The area was taped off as police investigated.

He was taken to Stroger Hospital, where his condition was unknown she said.
